Reggae Star Sadiki to Release New Single “MAMA” on April 24th, 2012

SADIKI TO RELEASE NEW REGGAE SINGLE, TITLED ‘MAMA,’ ON ITUNES, PRODUCED BY KEMAR ‘FLAVA’ MCGREGOR



Jamaican reggae artist Sadiki is preparing to release a new roots single, titled “Mama,”  Tuesday, April 24, 2012, on iTunes.


Sadiki’s single, produced by Kemar ‘Flava’ McGregor, is a heartfelt cultural ballad with a twist – it describes the family bond between an ailing mother and her son, but at the same time, the song offers a thoughtful commentary on the current state of Jamaican culture. The title, “Mama,” refers in part to the nation of Jamaica itself, and through a succession of sensitive and symbolic lyrics, the song pleads for Jamaican expatriates to regard, support and most importantly, to love their homeland, despite its many struggles.
